Description—Head of a dull bronze colour above, subquadrate, 
but rather broader behind than before ; clypeus somewhat concave 
above, the anterior margin presenting a slightly waved, but nearly 
straight, line; upper surface minutely punctured ; antennz black, 
the club pitechy. Thorax also of a dull bronze colour above, 
rather narrower than the elytra; 114 lines broad, 7 lines long; 
the sides rounded, the broadest part rather behind the middle, and 
the fore part contracted ; upper surface very finely punctured; a 
considerable space on the hinder half of the thorax in the middle 
is nearly destitute of punctures, and slightly glossy ; on the disc 
are two joint depressions, and at some little distance from the 
lateral line, and situated on the hinder half of the thorax, are two 
slightly marked longitudinal depressions; the hinder margin is 
slightly produced in the region of the scutellum, and the hinder 
angles are obtuse. The scutellum is of moderate size. The 
elytra are blackish-green, or deep bronze colour, slightly glossy, 
without strize or punctures; 1 inch 73 lines long, and but little 
dilated in the middle: a broad yellowish brown band runs from 
the base of each elytron nearly parallel with the suture, and 
extends almost to the apex, where it is joined by a second mark 
of the same colour, which runs parallel with, and near, the outer 
margin, but is not continued quite to the base of the elytron. The 
under parts of the thorax, and the sternum, are densely covered 
with brown hairs; the abdominal. segments are of a bronze 
colour, and slightly pubescent at the sides. The thighs are very 
* Since this paper was read the male of the present species has been described 
by Dr. Burmeister in Germar’s Zeitschrift (iii. p. 227), under the name Euchirus 
Dupontianus. A beautiful figure of the same insect has likewise been executed 
for Burmeister’s ‘‘ Genera Insectorum,” but it has not yet been published.
